    It is a fantastic seeing things in 3D. The pictures are good. The only problem I have with it is that it heats up so on fast and you have to shut it down until it cools.

    My son got this to use with his phone. It really makes you feel like you are somplace else. When you turn your head you can see the space in all different directions. Very fun. Makes me want to get a Samsung phone so I could use it more often.

    I get a little motion sick on some of the apps but I think vr is the future. Now if I could only get over the eye saying I'm moving while the body doesn't it would be great.

    You can spend a lot of money buying videos/movies to view through VR gear. But it is like you're in the room. Be careful if you are easily affected by motion sickness

    Got this in a promo deal with the Galaxy s7. Watched the NCAA final 4 and it was pretty cool. Not a whole lot of content out there right now but I'm sure that more is coming.

    All I can say is you have to try it for yourself. It is a fraction of the cost of the Oculist Rift or HTC Vive and yet it still delivers a VR experience that makes you feel like you are actually in the game, theatre or movie. Kudos to Samsung.

    VR is a neat tool but I do not play games so I most likely not use it. We should have the option to either get that or maybe another choice since older adults won't use it.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    There was a special to get this free with the purchase of my s7. It is so cool. First experience for me with anything like it. It took a bit to learn the controller for me and I have only looked at the awesome pictures, not played any games.

    I bought this with my Galaxy Note 5. The only headache I have is using it sooo much! its a lot of fun. Even using Netflix has changed the way I watch movies so much! (better looking on VR than looking at my crummy livingroom) The straps are comfortable and contour to all shapes of heads and faces. Small issue though if you have a small or narrow face, light will creep in from the corners of your screen, but not a big noticeable difference. The oculus app is very user friendly and always stays updated with some of the latest software and apps. The growing library of content has experiences for absolutely everyone.

    Love it but would have loved for the cover to clip back on when your cell phone is in it a lil bummed there but other than that it's very entertaining and hours of fun

    I like the vr. It is definitely cheaper than the Playstation version, which was a deciding factor for me. I'm ready for more software to be available at oculus for it.

    This is quite an experience. It reminds me of the Disney Circlerama attraction. It gives you vertigo. It is not as clear as I would like it to be but still very interesting.

    Simple to use. Just plug ur phone in and go... U will have to plug your phone in and do the update the 1st time you use it. Straps hold... the plastics and cushions around the face are comfortable. Needs a carrying case is my only thing...
